After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 59

The faint scent of hyacinths wafted from Lu Yaoyi and filled Jiang Youli’s nose.

Jiang Youli looked at Lu Yaoyi in surprise, unable to believe that she would make such an intimate move. Lu Yaoyi’s eyes were filled with emotions that she couldn’t understand or guess, so gentle that they seemed to pull her in uncontrollably.

In an instant, she felt a wave of heat rise from her neck to her cheeks.

Her heart also started to beat unsteadily.

After a few seconds of being stunned,

The rebellious feeling that only came out around Lu Yaoyi suddenly surged in her heart.

She frowned and said unhappily, “What do you mean, ‘because we’re a 99% perfect match’?”

With that, she quickly took away Lu Yaoyi’s hands that were holding her face. She then looked away awkwardly, not daring to meet Lu Yaoyi’s gaze. “Please be more precise. It’s ‘pheromone compatibility is a 99% perfect match,’ okay? Pheromones are pheromones, and we are us. I will not agree or admit to this kind of ‘perfect match’ statement.”

Lu Yaoyi didn’t care whether Jiang Youli admitted to the “perfect match” statement or not. After all, their biological instincts were the most compatible match for each other in this world. “Even if you don’t admit to the pheromone compatibility, we are still a 99% perfect match.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

She had nothing to say and remained silent.

Lu Yaoyi: “Jiang Youli, I admit that I like your pheromones.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

An Omega saying something like this to an Alpha was undoubtedly an invitation.

However, she knew very well that Lu Yaoyi was not inviting her.

Lu Yaoyi once again mustered her courage and held Jiang Youli’s face, gently turning it so that Jiang Youli would look into her eyes. She then deliberately raised her tone and asked meaningfully, “What about you?”

Jiang Youli was slightly taken aback.

Lu Yaoyi: “Do you like my pheromones?”

Her light tone could easily make Jiang Youli’s heart tremble.

She stared blankly into Lu Yaoyi’s eyes, unable to utter a word.

Of course, she wouldn’t admit her true feelings. So she couldn’t hold back and put her hand on the back of Lu Yaoyi’s head, pressing it into her arms. Her fierce attitude seemed as if she was about to devour her. “Didn’t you say you wanted to sleep? You’re talking so much, it’s so noisy.”

“If you don’t sleep now, I won’t hold you anymore.”

Lu Yaoyi leaned into Jiang Youli’s arms, unable to react for a moment. She smelled the fresh and cold scent of fir on Jiang Youli. A mischievous smile gradually appeared on her lips. She then raised her hands, wrapped them around Jiang Youli’s neck, and hugged her intimately.

Jiang Youli: “Go to sleep.”

Lu Yaoyi closed her eyes and replied softly, “Okay.”

The two of them stopped talking.

Soon, Jiang Youli heard the sound of slow and steady breathing from her arms.

The Omega exuded a sweet and alluring scent,

constantly attracting the Alpha.

Jiang Youli slowly lowered her head and looked at Lu Yaoyi, who was sleeping soundly in her arms. Her gaze slowly moved down from the delicate eyebrows, passing over the long, thick eyelashes and the beautiful, straight nose, finally resting on the plump, shiny, and naturally red lips.

Her gaze was fixed on her lips and didn’t move.

Last night…

She had tasted those cherry lips. Why couldn’t she remember what they tasted and felt like at all? She thought it might be because she was so close to giving in to Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones and going into heat that she neglected the taste of the kiss in her passionate, instinctive desire.

“…”

Dammit!

She was actually reminiscing about her first kiss with Lu Yaoyi now? She frowned and slapped her forehead in annoyance. She then looked up and continued watching the movie to distract herself.

She didn’t know how long passed.

Lu Yaoyi woke up from her sweet and wonderful dream, but she found herself lying on the sofa with a blanket over her. She groggily propped up her upper body and rested her elbow on the sofa. She then saw Jiang Youli, who was sitting with her back against the sofa and her feet down below, looking calm and focused.

She looked at the sleeping Jiang Youli and called out softly,

“Jiang Youli…”

Hearing this, Jiang Youli looked at Lu Yaoyi. “You’re awake.”

Lu Yaoyi pursed her lips. “Mhm.”

Jiang Youli’s expression didn’t change as she looked away and focused on the movie.

Lu Yaoyi rubbed her eyes, turned to look at the sky outside the window, and then moved to sit on the sofa and looked at Jiang Youli. “Jiang Youli, how long did I sleep for?”

Jiang Youli looked at the clock on the wall. “Almost two hours.”

Lu Yaoyi didn’t say anything.

After a moment of silence,

Lu Yaoyi wanted to go upstairs to wash up and get a book, but she didn’t want to give up the opportunity to be close to Jiang Youli. So she looked at Jiang Youli’s profile and called out, “Jiang Youli.”

Jiang Youli: “Mhm?”

Lu Yaoyi: “Can you carry me upstairs?”

Jiang Youli: “???”

Wow, what kind of bossy and unreasonable request was this? She turned around and looked at Lu Yaoyi in disbelief, as if she were a monster. “Why do you want me to carry you upstairs?”

Lu Yaoyi: “I feel really bad, and I don’t have any strength.”

Jiang Youli: “Then how did you get through your heats before?”

“Before, I would take an inhibitor to get through my heats. But you promised me you would help me get through one,” Lu Yaoyi frowned slightly and deliberately showed a pitiful and uncomfortable expression. “Now that you’re here with me, I didn’t take an inhibitor.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

She couldn’t find any reason to refute Lu Yaoyi.

Lu Yaoyi: “You said you would help me.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

Lu Yaoyi’s tone contained a hint of blame and grievance. “You really did lie to me.”

Jiang Youli was really defeated by Lu Yaoyi.

She got up helplessly and walked over to Lu Yaoyi, looking at her. She felt that carrying Lu Yaoyi upstairs was too weird. Wasn’t that kind of intimate behavior something that only couples did? So she turned her back to Lu Yaoyi and patted her shoulder.

“Get on. I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”

Lu Yaoyi stood up from the sofa with a smile and lay on Jiang Youli’s back.

This was enough.

That night,

Jiang Youli came out of the bathroom after showering and drying her hair. She walked to the bed, picked up her phone, replied to some messages, and then sat on the bed to play games with her friends.

Just then, there was a loud knock on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

Jiang Youli’s heart trembled when she heard the knocking.

After the crisis last night, she had developed a conditioned response to Lu Yaoyi knocking on her door at night. “What is it?”

The next second, she heard Lu Yaoyi’s voice from outside the door.

“I need to talk to you.”

She then added, “Jiang Youli, can you come and open the door?”

Jiang Youli heard that Lu Yaoyi’s tone seemed fine, so she felt relieved and got up to open the door. She saw Lu Yaoyi standing at the door in her pajamas, holding a pillow. She looked at Lu Yaoyi in front of her with wide eyes and asked, “What are you doing?”

Lu Yaoyi: “Can I sleep with you?”

Jiang Youli: “???”

She suspected that she might have misheard. “What? What did you say?”

Lu Yaoyi had no choice but to repeat, “I said I want to sleep with you.”

Jiang Youli: “…”

An Omega and an Alpha sleeping together was a very dangerous thing. They wouldn’t sleep together unless they were in a very close relationship. Lu Yaoyi was actually asking her to sleep with her now? She was getting more and more confused about what Lu Yaoyi was thinking.

“Lu Yaoyi, do you even know what you’re saying?”

“How can an Omega like you sleep with me?”

“I haven’t taken an inhibitor and have been feeling bad all the time. What if I suddenly go into heat while I’m sleeping?” Lu Yaoyi looked Jiang Youli in the eyes and answered without a change in expression, “I came here to sleep with you because I don’t want to feel so uncomfortable.”

Jiang Youli didn’t say anything.

“Jiang Youli, even though I’m an Omega and you’re an Alpha, we’ll be fine if we just lie in bed and don’t do anything,” Lu Yaoyi hugged the pillow in her arms tightly. “I came to you to get through my heat safely.”

She paused.

She then looked at Jiang Youli and said meaningfully, “Or… are you scared?”

“Are you afraid you’ll do something to me?”

Jiang Youli was, of course, scared.

She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to suppress her desires like she did yesterday and would give in to her instincts and do something to hurt Lu Yaoyi. So she put on a stern face and retorted fiercely, “Why are you so conceited? I won’t do anything to you, okay? I’m not sleeping with you.”

“Go back to your room and sleep. If you’re really uncomfortable, just take an inhibitor.”

With that, she closed the door without any hesitation.

She returned to her bed unhappily, sat cross-legged, and started playing games.

Time flew by, and it was already 11 p.m.

Jiang Youli finished her game.

She threw her phone on the bed, lay on her back, and stared at the ceiling. Lu Yaoyi was right. It was safe for an Omega and an Alpha to just lie in bed and not do anything. But she couldn’t accept sleeping with Lu Yaoyi.

But… she was still a little worried about Lu Yaoyi.

She stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for a few minutes. In the end, she decided to go to the next room to see how Lu Yaoyi was doing. So she got up, put on her slippers, and walked toward the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Yaoyi lying on the floor in front of it, hugging a pillow.

She was curled up and looked extremely pathetic.

Jiang Youli’s eyes widened in shock. “What… what are you doing lying here?”

Lu Yaoyi didn’t respond to Jiang Youli at all.

Jiang Youli: “…”

She realized that something was wrong and quickly crouched down to check on Lu Yaoyi. Lu Yaoyi’s body hadn’t gone into heat, and she wasn’t releasing pheromones with a mating signal.

She guessed that Lu Yaoyi was probably just feeling unwell and wasn’t in heat.

She was at her wits’ end with Lu Yaoyi.

She had no choice but to open her arms and carefully lift Lu Yaoyi from the cold floor and place her on her own bed. She straightened up and was about to leave when someone grabbed her hand.

“Jiang Youli… don’t go…”

Jiang Youli’s hand went stiff and she didn’t move.

Lu Yaoyi was afraid that Jiang Youli would leave, so she held onto Jiang Youli’s hand tightly. She then moved her lips and said weakly, “Jiang Youli… I feel so bad… can you please help me… you promised you would help me… you said you wouldn’t lie to me… Jiang Youli…”

Jiang Youli looked at Lu Yaoyi’s face, which was flushed with discomfort and looked extremely pitiful.

She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

She knew how uncomfortable and difficult an Omega’s heat was.

And she was indeed Lu Yaoyi’s best medicine.

Fine.

I’ll just help her out.

It was just lying in the same bed and not doing anything. Lu Yaoyi definitely wouldn’t do anything to her either. So she agreed to Lu Yaoyi’s demanding request.

“Don’t let this happen again.”

With that, she turned off the light, walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the blanket, and got into bed.

As soon as she lay down and covered herself with the blanket,

A soft and fragrant body pressed against her and hugged her waist tightly.

“…”

She was instantly enveloped by the Omega’s scent.

“Jiang Youli… this feels so much better…”

Lu Yaoyi’s voice, which was gentle, soft, and alluring, suddenly came from next to her.

Jiang Youli’s whole body tensed up from nervousness, and she didn’t dare to breathe.

This was killing her.

She lay there with stiff limbs, staring at the ceiling, feeling the warmth of Lu Yaoyi’s body and her fragrant softness. The beating heart in her chest gradually grew warmer.

She could only pray in her heart that the unruly thing wouldn’t get hard.

Otherwise, she would have to escape from this bed.

Just as she was in a state of anxious chaos, a leg was placed on top of her.

The pressure from between her legs instantly made her face turn red. Lu Yaoyi’s leg happened to be pressing right on her center. She clenched her fists, tensed her body, and said awkwardly, “Lu Yaoyi, you… you need to move your leg… you’re… you’re on top of me.”
